This nationals trip would not be what it was if it were not for the amazing airbnb we were able to stay at. Our hosts at were incredible and so sweet. They set up a bonfire s’more celebration, cooked a meal for us, and of course let us play with all their animals. It was truly a highlight of the trip and we will definitely be back! 💜
